Directions

Always use this medicine exactly as described in the leaflet or as your doctor or pharmacist has told you. Check with your doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure.
Dosage: One 2g suppository for children.
Wash hands before opening individual packaging. If the suppository is too soft, it may be chilled in the refrigerator or under cold running water before unwrapping.
To remove a suppository, tear one from the strip along the perforations then peel it from the plastic wrapping by grasping the two halves of the wrapping at the tip of the suppository and pulling them gently apart. The tip should be moistened with a little cold water to aid insertion.
Lie your child on their side and draw their knees up towards their chest.
Using your index finger or middle finger, whichever you find easier, gently push the suppository into the rectum. The suppository is shaped for rectal insertion, ensure the tip of the suppository is inserted first.
The suppository should be inserted as far as possible, pushing the end of the suppository sideways to ensure contact with the wall of the bowel.
Lower their legs to a comfortable position to help hold the suppository in place.
The suppository should be in place for at least 15 to 20 minutes if possible. If your child feels the suppository must come out immediately, it has not been inserted high enough.
Your child may feel an immediate urge to go to the toilet. Encourage them to try to ignore this as the suppository will not work for at least 15 minutes.
As with all laxatives, the suppositories should not be used on a continuous daily basis for long periods. If you need laxatives every day you should see your doctor.

FAQ

How do I know if this product is right for me?

Each product page provides important information, including who the product is suitable for and any restrictions. For pharmacy medicines and prescription-only medicines, you will need to complete a health questionnaire that will be reviewed by our clinical team before supply is made. For general shop items, please follow the product instructions and speak to a pharmacist or healthcare professional if unsure.

⁠Do I need a prescription to order this product?

Some products (such as prescription medicines) require review and approval by one of our Independent Prescribers before they can be supplied. Others (such as over-the-counter or retail products) do not require a prescription and can be purchased directly. The product page will clearly state which applies.

How will my order be checked and verified?

For medicines, our pharmacy team will check your order against your health questionnaire, medical history, and any medicines you may already be taking. For non-medicine items, our team will ensure the product is packaged and supplied safely and securely.

How will my order be delivered?

All orders are dispensed or packed in our UK-registered pharmacy and sent using secure, trackable delivery services. Items that require refrigeration or special handling (such as certain medicines) will be packaged using validated materials to keep them safe in transit.

What should I do if I have a problem with the product?

If you experience side effects from a medicine, stop using it and contact us, your GP, or NHS 111 immediately. You can also report side effects via the MHRA Yellow Card scheme. For non-medicines, if the product is faulty, damaged, or not as described, please contact our support team and we will resolve the issue in line with our returns policy.

Can I return products if I change my mind?

Medicines cannot legally be returned once they leave the pharmacy, for safety reasons. Non-medicinal items (such as health and wellness products) may be eligible for return if unopened and in their original condition. Please check our returns policy for details.
